In the workplace, under the competitive organizational structure, how to do a good job of individual development
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said: Competition is the source and master of all things.
The recent hit TV series "Settle Down" has aroused heated discussions. In the play, Anjia Tianxia Jingyi store set up two store managers, Fang Sijin and Xu Wenchang, to jointly manage store matters according to the requirements of the head office, in order to stimulate the growth of sales performance.
This management model, called the "two-store manager system", has a long history as a competitive organizational structure.
In the mid-1990s, with the development of the real estate industry, real estate sales companies in some areas began to develop the double-store manager system.
The original two-store manager system belongs to the most primitive "competitive mechanism". In the same store, two managers are artificially set up, the store is divided into two, and the two store managers are equipped with teams of the same number, so that the two store managers are led by them respectively. Each team conducts business.
Enterprises under the "two-store manager system" have artificially added a competition mechanism, which in disguise motivates employees to continuously explore the market, improve work performance, and ensure that sales performance maintain a healthy development momentum in the constant competition.
For the enterprise, the two teams can maintain the enthusiasm of the staff in the competition, and under the stimulation of the reward mechanism, the effect of 1+1 ≥ 2 can be achieved.
It can be seen that the competitive organizational structure similar to the "two-store manager system" has an obvious role in promoting performance-oriented enterprises.
Several forms of competitive organizational structure exist
- Manufacturing enterprise production line
Due to the different teams, procedures and types of work on the production line, different production lines are competitors with each other. Most manufacturing enterprises generally judge the work performance of employees according to the workload in order to ensure continuous production.
- Sectoral competition in the enterprise
In the book "Architecture as Metaphor", Pedestrian Karatani mentioned the division of tree-like structures by famous architect Christopher Alexander.
In an enterprise, the chairman assigns the general manager to be responsible for the development of specific affairs, and the general manager is divided into specific institutional departments responsible for administration, sales, production, logistics, etc., and different departments compete with each other in order to achieve work goals.
- Project component control
In technology-based enterprises and sales-oriented enterprises, there are multiple work groups or project groups in a department, and each group is led by different leaders and competes with each other.
There are many forms of competitive organizational structure system, the main purpose is to form a competitive environment. In order to promote the normal development of the company.
In a competitive organizational structure in the workplace, what should you do as an employee?
Four suggestions for employees in a competitive organizational structure in the workplace
- Abandon inferiority and realize the improvement of self-worth on the basis of fair competition
The definition of inferiority: inferiority refers to the inherent bad qualities and unhealthy psychological needs of human beings, and these inferiority are the root of human crime.
In the movie "Seven Deadly Sins", human inferiority is divided into seven categories: arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony (gluttony) and desire.
Teams in a competitive environment, alternate development can motivate each other. Once the phenomenon of "the strong stay strong and the weak stay weak" occurs, human nature such as jealousy and greed will begin to play a role, and actions such as dismantling, prying, slandering, and calculating will inevitably lead to the disintegration of groups.
Just imagine, under the condition of a certain overall goal, one of the two teams adopts means of unfair competition, that is, causing 50% of the employees to have problems, the overall goal will be severely hit, which will also damage the collective interests of the enterprise team. .
- Cultivate good professional quality, give full play to individual advantages, so as to promote the progress of the organization
A good professional quality has a strong impetus to the development of the individual, and it is the most benign development idea that the individual's advantages promote the progress of the team.
Konosuke Matsushita, a famous Japanese industrialist, said: If competition can stimulate each other's progress, then good competitors are very needed.
Therefore, as a member of a competitive team, employees should exert their subjective initiative, convert external stimuli (the opposing team) into internal motivation, and use all available resources to continuously improve themselves in terms of their professionalism, skills, and professional thinking.
At the same time, we will continue to optimize efficiency and increase workload within the scope of our capabilities to give full play to individual advantages.
- Improve the cohesion of small teams, expand individual goals into team goals, and achieve optimal solutions
No one in the workplace can dominate the country alone, and any job requires communication and collaboration with members of the team.
At this time, it is necessary to achieve communication and cooperation by improving team cohesion.
How to improve team cohesion?
First of all, as an individual, you need to have self-awareness of your own ability boundaries, and secondly, you need to clarify the strengths and weaknesses of team members, work ideas and methods, values, etc., learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, and complement each other under the encouragement of common goals.
At the same time, guided by the interests of the team, clarify their respective work tasks and work directions, and on the basis of individual goals, continue to work together for the team goals to maximize the team's interests.
- Cultivate a sense of crisis, the weak will be eliminated in the competitive environment
There is a famous saying in "Mencius: Gaozixia": "Born in trouble, die in peace". The elimination of the last position in the enterprise is an eternal law.
Many people in the workplace have stayed in the same work environment for a long time, and their work ideas and methods have gradually been finalized. At the same time, their sense of crisis has gradually relaxed, causing many people to begin to settle for the status quo and no longer pursue improvement.
It's a very scary thing in a team.
Under the general direction of the team's consistent goals, if an individual fails to give full play to his own advantages, but retreats, it is easy to bring this ethos to other members of the team, thereby affecting the achievement of the goal.
Therefore, individual members must maintain a sense of crisis at all times, and they can constantly urge themselves to "not be left behind" by making long-term and short-term career planning goals around their career positioning, otherwise they will be eliminated by the organization.
